Today is supposed to be our last day of this frigid weather. It is really unbelievable. The crazier part is that it has also been snowing. I don't really understand how it can snow when it is so cold. In the past it has either snowed or been freezing, not both. :(

The Olympic Committee chose its three members of the Men's Singles Figure Skating Team:

Nathan Chen, Vincent Zhou, and Adam Rippon.......even though only the first two were in the top three at nationals last night.

Ross Miner, who placed second last night, was skipped over in place of Rippon who placed 4th......for various reasons.  Too bad....
Title: Re: FINALIZING THE MIX

About the weather:  If it feels like minus 14, shouldn't we just say it IS minus 14, rather than sugarcoating it as 10 degrees, but wind makes it feel like minus 14?  :)

As long as they let you know what it feels like and mention the chill factor.  I hate when only the actual temp is reported.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  It is "warming" up a bit here is SW Ohio, but along with the higher temps comes a Winter Weather Advisory that starts at midnight.  It calls for snow, freezing, and that dreaded "wintery mix."  My Current Events Club has already cancelled for tomorrow afternoon.

We don't get NBCSN, so I spent the evening at my art desk and listened to music instead.  I did check the results on line before I went to bed and have seen clips of the medal performances on Facebook.

I am back from the dentist. As I feared, the problem isn't with the temporary crown--that's what it feels like, though--but with the root canal itself. He may have to go back in. We're trying some other things first.

I'll be seeing him again on Tuesday. I like my dentist, but I'm seeing far too much of him.

I suppose the bright side of a wedding in Florida will be less expensive ...because most of the people I would have invited will it be able to attend

They might surprise you. 


My local friends, Neighbors, people from the church, people from my office, Vixdad's coworkers, I know they will not be able to afford the plane flights, the hotels, plus the need to take vacation time ....I know they will not be able to attend...

Sorry.  Will your family be able to attend?

With much of your guest list unable to attend will you reduce the overall count of invites, in other words keep the wedding small?

Started watching The Missouri Breaks. Great cast, but the whole thing after a half hour feels like a McCabe and Mrs. Miller wannabe. And Arthur Penn can't do Altman. All of the loop voices in the background are so intentional and clear, concise and complete that you never ask anything further. You just go from scene to scene and think, McCabe did that one better. And then there's Brando. Weird doesn't begin to cover it.

Back from a spectacularly great young people show, which I called A Young Person's Guide to Kritzerland.  Every kid came through beautifully - there wasn't a flub in the entire show and we had a completely full house despite some no-shows due to illness.  The audience was great and very responsive - lots of patter laughs, too, which isn't always the case at the young people shows.

I was on YouTube and saw that Frances McDormand's acceptance speech was posted.  I watched it and it wasn't edited...and nothing was really offensive (except maybe her saying "shyte").  Here's the link, if anyone is interested:

My former housemate and his then-wife got married in Vegas (not because they "had" to...they just really wanted to get married there), and they had their reception here in Olympia.  It worked for them.

It won't show because Photobucket changed their hot-linking (3rd party hosting) policy.  "The free account does not allow any image linking or 3rd party image hosting."  You now have to have their:

"Plus 500 Plan (http://photobucket.com/terms): 502 GB of Storage and unlimited bandwidth for $399.99 / Year. The Plus 500 Plan [is the only plan that] allows for unlimited image linking and unlimited 3rd party image hosting."

No.  I've pretty much stopped using Photobucket.  I have an app on my phone that can resize photos if they're too large a file size (192KB) to post through HHW's "Attachments and other options" link when you preview a post.  Otherwise, I only hot-link from existing photos already on the Internet. :-\
